Vacation at the end of the world

Well today probably many Europeans would regard New Zealand as the end of the world. But that was quite different many hundreds of years ago and going all the way back to the 15th century many thought the cliffs of the Portuguese Algarve were the brink of our civilisation. The Algarve with its steep cliffs, beautiful bays and picturesque pine forests stretch out over a length of 230 kilometres.

“Excellent town. Great restaurants - book at least a day ahead for the really good ones.
Fantastic beaches. Water activities galore. We stayed next to Dona Ana beach, which was a perfect location for us, only ten minutes walk to the centre of town.”

These beaches are different to the ones in the Algarve West coast, with vast expanses of beaches open to the Atlantic with wilder and more deserted beaches around Aljezur, excellent for beach games and walking. At the bottom of the West coast, nearly 30km from Lagos, is the most westerly point of Europe, Cape St Vincent, with views of sometimes very rough seas from the top of the cliffs.

The western section is shaped by its impressive cliff coast, idyllic bathing bays and charming beautiful landscape and is situated between Faro and Sagres. This part is also called Barlavento. The windswept Cabo de São Vicente is the south western most point of Europe and was said to be the end of the world until Christoph Columbus discovered America.
